Consumer Description

UPON PUTTING CAR INTO GEAR, THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT CAUSE THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. CAR HAD NO PROPULSION. IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE GAS PEDAL HAD SEEMED TO STICK BEFORE THIS INCIDENT. FORD MOTOR CO. REFUSES TO COVER THE COST OF FIXING THIS PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR SOME TIME. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT FOR MY 17 YR OLD DAUGHTER. SHE DID NOT HAPPEN TO BE DRIVING AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT THANKFULLY BECAUSE SHE WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN WHAT TO DO IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE. *TR
